1. An irrigation system, comprising:
a console having a front panel with an inflow pump and an outflow pump, the front panel extending to a front edge and the front edge connected to a bottom side of the console;
one or more feet attached to the bottom side of the console, each foot comprising:
a first planar surface extending in a first plane from a first end to a second end, wherein the first plane faces the console;
a second planar surface opposite the first surface, extending in a second plane at an angle to the first plane from the first end to a third planar surface proximate to the second end, wherein the third surface extends in a third plane at an angle to the first and second planes and in a direction away from the first surface, the second surface and the console, and
wherein the third surface extends to and ends at a fourth planar surface extending in a fourth plane extending at an angle to the third plane, wherein the fourth surface is the furthest surface away from and opposite to the first surface, wherein the fourth surface faces away from the first planar surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface are directly connected by a fifth planar surface, wherein the first surface is directly connected to and extends from the fifth planar surface to a sixth planar surface, and wherein the sixth planar surface is opposite to the fifth planar surface and is directly connected to and extends from the first surface toward the fourth surface.
